Smith & Williamson, the financial and professional services firm, has been honoured with two significant industry awards in one week.
Citywire Wealth Manager Investment Performance Awards
The firm won the ‘Best Large Firm' award at Citywire's Wealth Manager Investment Performance Awards.
The awards are based on analysis from performance research firm ARC, and are strictly quantitative, focusing on risk-adjusted performance over a three-year period. They are awarded to managers who deliver consistently great performance for their clients.
Smith & Williamson was also shortlisted in the ‘best cautious strategy' and ‘best balanced strategy' categories.
British Accountancy Awards - ‘National Firm of the Year'
Smith & Williamson was awarded ‘National Firm of the Year', as the firm most able to demonstrate significant added value for clients across all service areas - and how those services are fundamental in enabling clients to achieve their business goals.
The firm's submissions focussed on the strength of its client offering, including its services supporting ‘scaling' businesses and entrepreneurs, the company's strong financial performance, extensive talent programmes and technology investment and development programme.
Commenting, Andrew Shaw of Smith & Williamson in Jersey said: "these awards are a fantastic endorsement of our firm's emphasis not only on quality of advice but also excellence of client service and outcomes. We strive to be Jersey's most respected independent provider of complementary financial and professional services and recognition of this kind only serves to spur us on to continually invest in our people, platforms and technology base for their benefit."
